Wimbledon 2024 LIVE!
Novak Djokovic continues his latest SW19 campaign on Centre Court this evening. The seven-time men’s singles champion is bidding to match great rival Roger Federer’s title record at the All England Club this summer, having proved his fitness in the aftermath of a knee injury that required surgery and forced his withdrawal from the French Open last month.
Djokovic began the week with a straight-sets demolition of Czech world No123 Vit Kopriva, before dropping a set in a tougher-than-expected test against plucky British No13 Jacob Fearnley. He now takes on Alexei Popyrin, the Australian who has successfully come through two long matches against Thiago Monteiro and 30th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry to reach this stage at Wimbledon for the first time in his career.
Djokovic will have top billing in west London tonight, with Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu’s scheduled mixed doubles match against Marcelo Arevalo and Zhang Shuai cancelled after the 2021 US Open champion withdrew due to wrist soreness, meaning the soon-to-be retired Murray has now played his final match at his home Grand Slam.
